If you play PC games online, you have probably played the first Left 4 Dead. Steam allowed users to play a two or three level demo online for about two weeks. If you are like me, you played this with your friends like crazy during that time period then got bored due to its repetitive nature. However, L4D went on to be a pretty damn big seller because of all the features promised to buyers of the game. You can take control of the zombies and even plan out how they are going to attack your buddies. The game was pretty cool,  but was expensive considering how repetitive it is and how there will never be a competitive scene for the game.

Steam even provided the community with tons of chances to buy the game at a discount, or to buy four copies of the game at once with your friends to save some money. These gamers were rather pissed when L4D2 was announced because that means a lot less support for the game they paid around $40 for. Granted – some of the screenshots look good, but if you bought the first one how can they expect you to by the next one only a YEAR after the first was released? I guess we will see how the community receives the new release, but I can not see it being the same big-seller as the first.  With Valve showing the game off in San Diego right now at Comic Con, I bet we will start hearing some real opinions soon.
